[Ohiogift] Gifted assessment areas

Wed Oct 29 09:25:17 EDT 2014

We do whole grade OLSATs in 2nd.  Last year the 2nd grade teachers
requested that the screening be done in the fall instead of the spring as
we had done in the past.  They wanted to have the information for their
use.  All academic area screening is done by me on an individual basis as
requested by teachers, parents, etc.
